Abstract
Designs a path tracking controller for an articulated vehicle (a semitrailer-like vehicle) using time scale transformation and exact linearization. The proposed controller allows articulated vehicles to follow arbitrary paths consisting of arcs and lines, while they are moving forward and/or backward. The experimental result of the 8-shaped path tracking control of the articulated vehicle moving backward is also presented
